A bit of a Saturday morning update. Pictures were taken late yesterday afternoon.
The 4x4 tent
All the girls seem to be doing pretty well, Even Miss Picky!
I do see that I am going to change my use of the UVA supplemental light I have.
First off, The timing of starting the use will be delayed until early flower. With it being toward the end of the blue end of the spectrum, I do feel it is a contributing factor to keeping the girls shorter. I'm fine with shorter will manage girls but they are just a little bit too short.
It may be a cumulative effect from starting use early in vegetative stage, but I do feel the daily duration needs to be cut back. In the first grow I had it the same cycle as the light 18/6. This current run I have it set to 12 hours midlight cycle. The next grow it will be 8 hours mid light cycle.
I do want to limit the amount of purpling going on with my girls. I'm pretty sure it's not strain related, but directly related to the use of the UVA. Now, that's not saying that different strains are not more sensitive to the UVA light. A perfect example is Knows Candy. Strawberry Biscotti and Chic-lit do seem to be fairly sensitive. Vidamints, which was very purple by the end of her run, seems to be less purple at the same stage as the last Run. I think that's directly related to my change in the life cycle from the last grow,
I'm pretty sure it's not temperature related, since the girls and the other two tents don't exhibit
any purpling.
It's quite obvious the plants are reacting to the UVA light. I do think the buds are much more compact and firm.
Chic-lit 69 days
Strawberry Biscotti 60 days big pot and little one
Any input is welcome!
